A few other posts recently got me to thinking. My Aspie boy is both a seeker and avoider. He seeks certain sensory input, particularly deep pressure, "thrill rides", dizziness, and "light touches. He is quite sensitive, though, to loud and/or discordant sounds, hot, cold, tired, hunger and certain textures. And, is fairly unpredictable as to the when/why/how/trigger.
Don't know if it makes any difference, but my son is an Aspie.
My DD has "autistic tendencies" (not enough to diagnose, but some issues there). She particularly has issues with certain textures, has most of the other sensitivities as her older brother. She also seeks the thrill rides, diziness, and light/feathery touches ("tickle my back dad, tickle my back!"). Oddly enough, she also seeks out really loud music frequently, but it has to be her wanting it loud and the music she wants to hear, or that's it!
So, how 'bout you??
